Objectives of the Appeal

The next ten years promise to make extraordinary demands on the Regiment, serving Welsh Guardsmen, their partners and families and particularly those members of the Regiment who have left through disability or work-related illness. The Welsh Guards Afghanistan Appeal is designed to support, alleviate and improve the prospects of all those consequently in need.
The fund will enable the Regiment to provide:
* Support to the families and dependants of those killed in action by responding promptly to problems of bereavement and hardship.

* Support to those wounded on operations, particularly those who have had to leave the Army, to assist in finding them new employment and to help them become active family and community members.

* Support to the families and dependants of those seriously wounded or injured in prolonged recovery situations.

Thanks for posting this. Considering it's for a good cause (and the exchange rate is fantastic right now!) I just ordered a copy. I'm sure the music won't disappoint either! Cheers, Cary
